October 20, 2013: Carroll County firefighters respond to fire at Vetville in Westminster

 


October 20, 2013: Carroll County firefighters respond to fire at Vetville in Westminster http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2013/10/october-20-2013-carroll-county.html 

By Kevin E. Dayhoff, kevindayhoff@gmail.com Sunday, October 20, 2013

 
Carroll County volunteer firefighters from throughout the county responded Sunday afternoon to a laundry room fire at “Vetville” in the 100 unit block of Wimert Avenue, near Sullivan Avenue and Route 140 in northwest Westminster.

The complex, known locally as “Vetville,” dates back to 1946, when the housing units were built “by the government for the GIs who are attending or will attend Western Maryland College under the GI Bill of Rights,” according to a newspaper account in the now-defunct Democratic Advocate.

“A one-story construction, set up on cement blocks, with a brick-like celetex finish, they will fill the hopes of many GIs who plan to finish their education with their families. The apartments are made up of living room, two bedrooms, two closets and a kitchen, to be fully equipped with sink, stove and refrigerator…”

It is believed that the last fire occurred in Vetville on November 2, 2003, when, “A two-alarm fire … destroyed a four-unit apartment building in Westminster, but its eight residents, including two children, escaped without injuries,” according to an article in the Baltimore Sun.

Snowtastrophe - These days big government cannot get anything right. Friday, Jan. 22, 2015 Kevin Dayhoff



Snowtastrophe - These days big government cannot get anything right.

Friday, Jan. 22, 2015 Kevin Dayhoff

At a time when many Americans have lost faith in government and our government’s ability to do anything with any degree of integrity, capability, or competence, comes the snowtastrophe Wednesday night in the capital of the free world, the most powerful nation on earth, Washington DC.

Read: Forget ISIS. The most powerful city on earth can’t handle a dusting of snow.

Or: An inch of snow, icy roads unleash 9 hours of traffic chaos across D.C. region By Fred Barbash and Justin Wm. Moyer January 21, 2016 - https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/01/21/an-inch-of-snow-icy-roads-unleash-9-hours-of-traffic-chaos-across-d-c-region/

I received first-person testimony by a family member who spend 3 hours on the road in the paralytic chaos that was Washington last Wednesday night in what might normally take 30 minutes.

No amount of hype or hyperbole can exaggerate how incompetent the response to barely an inch of snow last Wednesday in Washington DC.

Not to be overlooked is the reputation of the Washington DC metro subway system. Words such as unsafe, unreliability, unpredictable, and unreliable come to mind. SMH.

Whether it is providing healthcare to veterans, providing safe drinking water, or punishing the innocent when they get on an airplane, government has proven to be incompetent and incapable of the even of the smallest, simplest, and easiest tasks. Look at the bloated bureaucracy that has swallowed the postal system.

Look at the government regulations that have over-bureaucratized the financial industry and sickened healthcare reform. Government has brought financial institutions and the medical health care delivery system to its knees with the extra costs and counter-productive and conflicting regulations that have increased the costs of delivering these vital services to Americans through the roof.

These days big government cannot get anything right. We should all be ashamed.

Meanwhile Petula Dvorak wrote about the response by the capital of the free world to less than an inch of snow last Wednesday night.

She wrote, “As we’ve proved before, we’re not good at snow. And on Wednesday night, we proved it again in utterly humiliating fashion, morphing from a powerful city of powerful people into a demolition-derby, wagon-training cold mess.

A one-inch snowtastrophe involving at least 1,000 accidents, eight-hour commutes and cars abandoned on freeways by desperate, disgusted commuters. Some people hadn’t even made it home by dawn Thursday.


[…]

It was a nearly perfect deja vu of a light snow in 2011 that generated epic Twitter travelogues of misery. Only difference this time? It was more fun to Snapchat the whole calamity.

We’re all worried about ISIS when the truth is, all it takes to destroy us is a little ice.

Hilarious Memes Emerge After Inch of Snow Paralyzes DC Area, By AVIANNE TAN Jan 21, 2016 - http://abcnews.go.com/US/hilarious-memes-emerge-snow-paralyzes-dc-area/story?id=36421982

Hilarious memes are emerging on social media after Washington, D.C., was paralyzed by an inch of snow Wednesday night.

You read that right: An inch of snow.

The snow caused slick conditions on roads. Over 125 accidents were reported, according to police, and hundreds of drivers trapped in traffic complained of nine-hour long standstills.

"One inch of snow did this. One. Inch. Of. Snow," one Twitter user wrote of what some have jokingly dubbed as "Snowmadeggon" and "Carmageddon."




D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser apologized this morning for the city's "inadequate" response Wednesday night and said officials are "very sorry."
Users on Twitter and other social media are now posting hilarious memes and jokes about the "inch of snow" disaster:

“Horrible.” “Pathetic.” “Painful.” “Unbelievable.” “One inch of snow did this.”

From every corner of the region and into the wee hours of the morning, from every highway and byway, motorists vented their anger and frustration that they were still out there — at 1 a.m., then 2 a.m. and still at 3 a.m. — because of ice and untreated roads, from a modest early-evening snowfall that came and went in a few hours.

The short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar


This is the short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar December 5, 2015 at 8:00 am

By Baltimore Sun writer Kevin E. Dayhoff, the former mayor of Westminster from 2001-2005

This year the bazaar is open from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
43 Monroe Street, Westminster, MD 21157

Good morning. On behalf of Westminster’s past and present elected officials, I would like to welcome you to the 62nd consecutive St. John Christmas Bazaar.

For the past 12-years I have been a journalist at the Baltimore Sun writing mostly history. At my age I am greatly amused that many events that took place in my childhood are now studied as history by today’s school children.

I look forward to the Christmas bazaar every year. When I was very young, the bazaar was part of a family adventure during the Christmas season.

During my high school years from 1969 through 1971, I often attended Mass at St. John with a good friend. I recall when the last Mass was held on February 4, 1968 at the church building on Main Street in town.

Last year when my wife Caroline and I were enjoying lunch at the bazaar with Mary Mussari, I was pleased when John Bryan asked me to speak at this year’s opening. Mr. Bryan told me that recently the ceremony has been dedicated to our servicemen and women – - and that this year we are paying a special recognition to Vietnam Vets.

It was just a few short weeks ago that our community came together to observe Veterans Day. No community does it better than Carroll County.

I served stateside in the United States Marine Corps Reserve from 1971 to 1973. Although I was not deployed, it has remained a sobering event in my life to have stepped-up the plate, despite a high draft number, signed on the dotted line, and
volunteered to serve during the Vietnam War.

This year, schools set the example for all of Carroll County by commemorating Veterans Day with many thoughtful, and well-planned services and programs.

In recent years Veterans Day has turned more somber. In the past, much of the community came together to celebrate the end of World War One and World War Two, and the Korean War.

Much of the nation saw nothing to celebrate for decades after the end of the Vietnam War. The war had dragged-on for over 19 years - for what seemed an eternity.

After the United States ended its direct involvement in the war on August 15, 1973, veterans were treated with scorn by the American left that proudly heaped insult upon injury upon those who served during the war.

Thankfully, the current youngest generation has seen fit to honor its veterans that have served proudly in the first and second Gulf Wars – and they treat Vietnam veterans with great dignity and respect.

Over 2.7 million Americans served in the Vietnam War. The average age was 19. Of that number, 300,000 were wounded in action, and 75,000 were disabled.

It has been estimated that almost 5 million military personnel and civilians, from all sides, lost their life in the Vietnam War. Of the 58,200 names listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC, 1,046 are Marylanders who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Although many Vietnam era vets still harbor a deep-seated resentment as to how we were treated, the manner in which we are treated by the youngest generation brings tears to our eyes and has gone a long way to heal the wounds of decades of being abused and ignored.

Today, we pay a special tribute to the eighteen fallen heroes from Carroll County, whose faces are etched in the black granite monument in the Vietnam Memorial Park on Willis Street that was dedicated on May 28, 1990.

We hold dear in our hearts the eighteen names: Ronald Kenny; Christopher Miller, Jr.; Carl Egolf; James Byers; Russell Amoss; Russell Milberry; Everett Justice, Jr.; Michael Kidd; John Feezer; Sherman Flanagan, Jr.; Muriel Groomes; Joseph Oreto; Frederick Magsamen; Franklin Underwood, Jr.; James Zumbrun; Joseph Blickenstaff, Jr.; David Steger; and Herbert Mulkey, Jr.

The faces of the eighteen names on the monument are frozen in time. Some we knew. Some we didn’t. But they were all someone’s son or father or brother or uncle – or a cherished childhood friend. Their faces have been silent for many years, but they all have a story to tell.

Today it is only right to recall the profound words from Ephesians, “Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, and be armed with the power of the Spirit, so that we may continue to make the Gospel understandable to those of us, who after many years, still have unanswered questions…”

God Bless and Semper Fi to all our brothers and sisters in uniform that served and died to protect our freedoms - and cannot attend the bazaar. Thank you for having me speak with you today. It was an honor.

Baltimore Sun: We all still have a dream 50-years after Dr. King's speech

We all still have a dream 50-years after Dr. King's speech [Eagle Archives]

By Kevin Dayhoff, kevindayhoff@gmail.com

1:38 p.m. EDT, August 27, 2013


Members of the Carroll County chapter of the NAACP joined tens of thousands Saturday at the National Mall - at the Reflecting Pool and the Lincoln Memorial - in Washington to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the August 28, 1963 March on Washington.

It was at that time in the early 1960s that the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. (January 15, 1929-April 4, 1968) made "I have a dream" the clarion-call of the civil rights movement at a political rally called the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.”

History continues to reflect upon the importance of the march on Washington in 1963. One thing remains certain, it was a pivotal moment in American history that has contributed greatly to who we are as a nation today.

The Carroll County, MD Branch of the NAACP were represented at the March on Washington on August 24, 2013 – John Lewis, Pam Zappardino, Virginia Harrison, Jean Lewis, Anna-Maria Halstead, Charles Harrison, Cheron Harris, Xiomara Pierre, Charles Collyer and Kevin Earl Dayhoff at March on Washington - 50Th Anniversary.

It was a day of camaraderie – for folks from all over the nation to come together and hear an amazing group of speakers that included Rep. John Lewis, Julian Bond, Martin Luther King III, Eric Holder, Cory Booker, Nancy Pelosi, Myrlie Evers Williams, Al Sharpton, Steny Hoyer, Ed Schultz, Denise King, Joseph Lowery, CT Vivan, representatives of the Human Rights Campaign, the National Council of LaRaza, the AFT, the NEA and many, many more.
